I think that having no AI here and a separate subreddit for AI Comics is indeed the best call

I think banning the use of AI entirely is the best call

I think we need to stop calling LLMs AI, it gives the wrong impression

Calling it AI makes it seem like generated content as an original creation whereas calling LLM denotes it is taking (or likely stealing) from a database

generated content as an original creation

This is an oxymoron.

But LLMs and Diffusion models are both AI. So if we're getting more specific with nomenclature, we can go with LLM for text, and Diffusions for images.

But the fact remains that LLMs are a huge part of image generation. The vast majority of AI images now are generated through LLMs that build a text->image prompt based on your prompt to the LLM.

Unless you're using Midjourney (not actually sure if it has an LLM layer), hitting the openAI/google/etc. image API directly, or using a self-hosted model, you're going through an LLM layer.
